Carl Pei, co-founder of tech firm Nothing, acknowledged Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. TSLA for a cameo starring a Nothing phone in a Cybertruck commercial.
What Happened: Pei took to X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday to express his appreciation to Musk for promoting a Nothing product.
“Thanks for the Nothing cameo @elonmusk”.
Although the video does not indicate exactly which Nothing smartphone has been shown, it is quite likely the Nothing Phone (2) since it is the first smartphone launched by the Pei-led company in the U.S.

Why It Matters: This interaction is notable in the context of the recent launch of the Nothing Phone (2), which features LED lights and a near-stock Android operating system experience.
Retailing at $599, Phone (2) is the second smartphone from the Pei-led company and the first to reach the U.S. market.
It is powered by Qualcomm Inc.'s QCOM Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset and has a 6.7-inch display. It boasts up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Adorning the back is a 50MP primary camera alongside a 50MP ultrawide angle snapper. It has a 32MP camera on the front for selfies.
The venture into the US market is significant for Nothing, and the endorsement from a tech mogul like Musk could boost the company’s visibility.
